Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed Mamas, 1913. Serial No. 752,189.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK CA'rUocNo, a

citizen of the United States, residin at New York city, in the county of New oak and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie- Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in necktie holders and more particularly to that class of holders which are adapted to secure a necktie to a collar.

An object of this invention is the provision of a device of this character comprising a curved plate, the opposite ends of which are secured in loops formed on the necktie, and the plate bein provided intermediate of its ends with a button engaging member.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a neck tie holder, the holder comprising a plate which is curved to conform to the curvature of the wearers neck, the opposite ends of the plate being secured in opposed loops formed on the necktie, and a clamping plate secured loop engaging plate, the opposite ends of the clamping plate engaging the opposed edges of the fold of the collar to prevent movement of the necktie with relation to the collar.

With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a rear elevation of the holder showing it applied to a tie; and Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the holder Referring more particularly to the drawing, the letter A designates a collar, B a necktie, and O my improved necktie holder. In Fig. 1 of the drawings, 1 have illustrated one form of my holder as applied to a bow tie, the tie being formed with a pair of opposed spaced loops B. The holder C comprises a necktie engaging curved plate 5, the opposite ends of which are secured in the loops B of the tie, and a clamping plate 6 which is ofiset intermediate of its ends to the to form a channel 7 is secured to the plate 5 by the rivet 8 which is passed through the offset port-ion 7 of the clamping plate and through the plate 5 intermediate of its ends. One arm of a U-shaped button engaging member 9 is secured to the forward face of the plate 5 by the rivet 8, the medial portion of the member 9 spanning the channeled or offset portion 7 of the clamping plate 6, and the opposite arm of the member 9 is enlarged and bifurcated as at 10 to engage the head of a button.

In the practical use of my device, in connection with a bow tie, the opposite ends of the plate 5 are secured in the loops B of the necktie, and when the loops are stitched or otherwise secured to the necktie, the device is ready for application to the button of a collar. The bifurcated portion 10 of the button engaging member 9 is engaged over the head of the button, the head resting within the channeled portion of the clamping plate, and the opposed edges of the turned down portion of the collar are engaged between the opposite ends of the plate 5 and the clamping plate 6 to prevent the tie from moving relatively to the collar. The plate 5 and the clamping plate 6 are preferably curved to conform to the curvature of the neck and collar, so that there will -be no outstanding parts which will mar the appearance of the necktie and the collar when the device is applied thereto.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is 1. A device of the character described comprising a necktie engaging plate, a clamping plate having its intermediate portion offset and secured to the first mentioned plate, a U-shaped button engaging member having one of its arms secured to the outer face of the first mentioned plate, the opposite arm of said button engaging member being bifurcated and arranged over the offset portion of said clamping plate, as and for the purpose described.

2. A device of the character described comprising a necktie engaging plate, a clamping plate having its intermediate portion offset for enlargement with said necktie engaging plate, and a U-shaped engaglng member having one of its arms secured to one face of the-first-men-tionedplate in- In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
